Hoya linearis Houseplant Care - 269 of 365
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- Supposedly one of the harder hoyas to take care of-I had an initial cutting that didn't survive, but luckily this plant has been thriving for even more months now since I initially filmed it. It's also putting out quite a bit of new growth in the winter too. It is #269 on "365 Days of Plants"...rightfully getting its time in the spotlight!
In this video I'll discuss where it is originally native to, where I'm growing it in my home, and basics like light, watering and fertilizing.

The hidden gem of hoyas
I have the full head of hair version,😁 it grew so well the first year i had it, that i sold countless rooted cuttings on ebay.,but she never flowered, and when visiting the nursery where i bought her, the owener advised me to stop watering, this she said would force flowers, also the ones she still had were all in a north facing window(in full flower) mine is in a south facing glass extension which does get shade too... I did water her as i thought I was too late to force flowers.
Just to say that I live in the south of France.
My advise on this beautiful soft hoya :-
When taking cuttings, take from top and divide the stem into 6" lengths, if you take half way down the plant starts to grow "sideways" from the wound, and it doesnt hang so well 🤔
Soil is well draining and as yet only worm compost fertiliser. (once)
She gets mealies from time to time but i can see them quickly and squish them!
I have been amazed at how easy she's been, but i am not a fussy gardener, all my plants get water when I'm able to water, probably once a week, and i only water when leaves get "bendy" 😅
Love watching your channel Summer, and have just been given your book as birthday present..
🎁😁
Thanks for featuring this Hoya. It’s really hard to get care tips for this particular plant. I can attest to this plant being finicky. It does not tolerate being overwatered at all. I started with a very full plant and am down to a handful of strands but I think I have finally figured out the care. I have a humidifier running next to it all day and it is under lower watt grow light and is putting out a ton of new growth. 🤞🏻I also repotted it in fine orchid bark so it doesn’t have its roots sitting in water.
Oh wow, I rooted a strand and am also using (extra) fine orchid bark and it's putting out new growth :) I agree, it likes it.
I’m surprised people have issues with this plant! I got a huge one a few years ago and it’s one of the easiest plants I have. It grows in the spring and summer and blooms once a year. There was little information about it when I got it, so I treated it like other hoyas and watered it very little. That did not make it happy at all however, the leaves shrivel up and “close” and if you wait too long, it’ll start dropping them. So, I give it a nice soak whenever I see the leaves start to change.
My local nursery had over a dozen of them for $2.00 a 2" pot. I bought them all... they're now in a hanging basket on my east facing window. :)
UK I have in South facing window hot and humid hanging over the sink area. Water when dry...feed normal. Flowers very well infact just budding for flowers. About 10 flowers hanging about 1.5 foot long. Glorious plant! Flower scent is vanilla and aniseed.
This one imho is actually quite easy to grow, even easier to propagate (adventious roots grow long enough to put in soil within a 3-4 weeks of water propagation). Doesn´t need too much light - mine grows well in semi-shade. Be careful with watering though, the soil needs to dry out between waterings so you might consider a well draining or even better terracotta pot. During the growing season I furtilise it boldly like twice a month and it grows like crazy. Maybe it´s just me but I´d say this plant is one of the best for beginners - just don´t water it too much too frequently;)
chetunka I totally agree. I find mine easy to care for too. I think it’s a tough plant. I treat it like my SoP or SoT
Does it need direct light? Like morning sun or something like that?
Kosta Ilić my personal favorite is east for my Hoya. I would be cautious with south. Some can take it some can’t In my experience
@@Danielle-ie1li thanks!
You must have ideal conditions, I bought a rootless cutting and after waiting about 6 weeks most pieces I planted rotted away. I have just one piece that put out a new leaf so I think it has rooted. I think it's going to be quite hard to grow and I had heard not to let it dry out, so there is quite confusing information out there.
I rotted out the roots on mine within weeks of getting it. It rooted up readily in LECA & I’ve been growing it in passive hydroponics with an organic fertilizer since. It hangs over a humidifier in a western window. I do live up in northern NY, so I think it enjoys the coolness of hanging next to the window. Currently putting in its first peduncle (only 3 after being rerooted)!
Summer I live in Germany and they are a bit finicky. The main problem are mealy bugs. I place mine in the shower drench her once a month. When propagating I cut pieces at the air roots and stick them in the soil making sure to keep the new cuttings moist. Mines started growing crazy after the mealy bug invasion. I let her dry out before watering. Thanks for the video.
It makes me feel really good that I can actually grow this! And mine is thriving!! Mine is also in my northeast window, hanging a couple feet away from my humidifier which is set to 65%. I've only watered it twice since I got it in February, and it's still in it's 4 inch growing pot. Mine also grows super fast, it's doubled in length since I first got it!! My favorite Hoya for sure!!
I have this plant and I’d say it’s one of the heartier Hoya that I own. I think it’s pretty easy to care for. I did import it from the UK about 10 months ago. Mine I keep on my balcony (I’m in Los Angeles) and I only bring it in when it drops below 45.
I find it’s roots to be quite hearty. When I got mine I untangled each vine and they bounced back with a quickness. It did go dormant but now I’m getting growth. I’ve propagated this thing almost a dozen times and haven’t lost a vine. I stick it in a small pot of my Hoya mix and spray bottle it everyday. It will look sickly until roots grow and you’ll notice the difference. Took about 2 months for roots. Once roots establish it will take a while for vine growth.
I don’t overwater. But I do water enough to cover the top soil then I leave it alone. I do get a mealybug from time to time on it so I have a Castile soap water mix I use.
What does your Hoya mix consist of? I have my linearis in pure bark and it’s doing ok and growing but I’m noticing it’s getting a bit paler green.
@@aychkay3534 Th color could depend on how much light its getting v nutrients. As Long has its growing, that's all that patterns. I have a standard hoya mix of 1pt cactus soil, 1/2 pt perlite, 1/4 pt orchid bark and 1/4 pt sand.
Thank you! I appreciate your input. Mine gets a lot of sun. That must be it! That’s probably why it flowered too. Do you have a plant Instagram I can follow?
You get your plant care Black Belt when you can keep hoya linearis AND peperomia fraseri alive! ☯🌱🥋
I got mine from Paradise Found Nursery in Sarasota Fl. If they are sold out you can set an alert to get notified when they are back in stock. Mine was shipped across the country, arrived in perfect condition.
Mine is growing under a growlight in an airy mixture of orchid bark, black gold potting mix and perlite and has put out tons of new growth this winter season. I also water mine more frequent than most of my succulent like Hoyas. I do this thing called the flick test on one of the leaves. If it does not spring back up quick enough when your press the tip of one of the leaves then it’s time to water.
So glad you showed this Summer :D I finally got a 5-strand rooted cutting shipped in it's pot (and it survived, the first one she shipped didn't except for one strand which I finally got to root in extra-fine bark, perlite mix). When it first arrived I put it in a frosted glass south facing window, lightly watered (I never let it go bone dry), misted 2x/day. After about 4 weeks, I saw new growth, yay! Then I saw someone who put theirs in direct sun and it looked fantastic, so I started slowly acclimating it to SOME full sun, slightly filtered and it seems to be thriving... 3-4 new growths, old leaves plumped up. I added some bonsai mix for more aeration and I mist 1-2x/day. I mist/water with cal/mag solution too sometimes.
Super interesting observation reg. the cutting that rooted in bark: You could also try rooting by placing an entire strand just on the surface of the pot (which I did) and each node made roots. It's taken a couple months but I finally have new leaves forming at the end. Also, it's in a clear plastic orchid pot so I could observe root growth and moisture. It's roots are growing very similar to how i see my orchid's roots grow, sometimes first meandering over the top of the pot before it decides to go down into the pot, also noticed aerial roots just sticking in the air. The pot also has a plastic dome to hold in moisture for now.
I woke up this morning with a new sense of vigour. Ultra excited about moving onto my next site, a huge allotment community up next to where my parents are buried. I want a big chunk of it and I want 2 people with the same passion and drive that I have to help me. It will take 2 years and I wont touch the actual site until every detail has been meditated upon and perfected. 40 beds will do, all netted and conditioned for light, heat, wind, drainage, ph, etc etc etc. Im excited Summer, this is going to be a massive undertaking but im going to do it and im going to teach the needy and feed my family premium produce. So that means, in the 2 years id imagine im going to learn a hell of a lot, especially watching you, as you are on my journey with me, up the garden path. Hoya linearis, looks like Brocco that gone to seed.
I'm growing one in a terrarium with fan, light and heat. It is growing very fast. It runs at 60-70% humidity and 18-25c
I am in Germany and have 2 pots of this. One pot i bought in June and were like 30cm long. After 5 mos it grew to as long as 120cm !! I have done cuttings twice and rooted them, sold them too. I water them when the pot gets a bit lighter, meaning the soil is almost dry. I kept them in their original pots and are facing 3 feet away a west window. I do bath them once in a while which they seem to like. I have seen 3 tiny flower babies but it is now autumn time here and they fall off. Hopefully more will come in Summer next yr.
Every single time I get a new plant I search “plants name 365” and do as summer says. Always bummed when she doesn’t have an entry for a plant of mine. Round two please!
Beautiful ... Another hard to find one is the Polyneura "Fishtail" I have had one for over a decade though and it is pretty big.
Elijah Ensor yes! I got a cutting and it didn’t survive. I’m sooo sad about it because it’s one of the most beautiful Hoyas.
Cool looking plant and hanging pot!
I spray my bathroom plants everytime I do my business too!
Love your videos!
I have my Hoya linearis growing in a south west facing window in my kitchen and it is very happy. I water it throughly when its completely dry. I also rinse off the leaves when I water.
I had some issues with mealy bugs but got it under control quickly!
It was about to flower just before this winter but didn’t and I think that was because of the darkness (I live in Sweden).
I give nutrition, very diluted, once or twice per month spring-autumn.
Hope your one keeps thriving! ☺️
I've my hoya for about 1.5 yrs now. It hangs about 2-3 meters from a south, south-west facing window. Only gets a bit of direct sunlight in winter, but a lot of indirect light the rest of the year. I let mine dry out and then fully water it, in summer probably every week..in winter a lot less, don't always fully water in winter either..it tends to be too much. I spray it with an orchid fertilizer every week except in winter, seems to work really well and fertilize most of the time when I fertilize my other plants (not always), I'm not too careful about it 😅 I live in West-Europe.
My fav!!
I got some well rooted cuttings in october and I have them in a well draining mix in a terracotta pot. I don't spray or anything , just water from time to time when dry and so for so good. didn't grow yet but I suppose that's normal
Just looked up the blooms Bigger than I thought they would be.
I have a cutting and it has not been happy in soil. I decided to mount it with spaghnum on to cork and see how that goes. 🤷🏽♀️
KnotDude on UA-cam has a great video on linearis propagation he found on another UA-camrs channel.
Just finished watching that - the Magic Cookie Jar! :)
Ava F The UA-camr that knot dude was talking about is verdealcove, I watch her videos on IG. She’s really good to watch also.
@@noelle7714 I did watch her on IG after Adam mentioned her. She's very knowledgeable.
Good morning 🌅🌻 send me a cutting.... Lol....I love how u take care your plants really nice....
I live in the UK and have one of these plants. According to our RHS (Royal Horticultural Society) if you give it bright light and ocassional direct sun it will produce waxy white flowers. It definitely does like being misted regularly and when humidity is high or when regularly misted will grow much faster. As you say you can propagate by cutting midway between the leaves on the stem and push the leaf node into the soil to grow. Best to use cactus compost mixed with perlite. Hope that helps.

I still dream having this 😭😭😭
I have been Loving mine in Miami for
Over 4 years. I don’t do much at all. They kind of speak to me when they need love. I keep them in the family room and kitchen. I look, listen, feel, and reply accordingly. Found them both at the Home Depot for about $14. Saw them all over the hotel in Paris! That’s when I knew I was on to something. I keep them in moderate natural light and 75 degrees with minimal care.
Shawna Pointville I actually just got a cutting and giving it all the attention I can and it’s been 2 weeks and hoping it won’t die 💚💚
They practically care for themselves like cats. My hoyas thrive in filtered light and moderate humidity. I enjoy the plump vibrant foliage. I monitor for signs of stress. They like compact roots. I have rarely fertilized and I have never repotted. If they begin to look stressed, I reduce sun exposure, dump standing water from the decorative holding pots and finger comb the spent foliage away. Keep an eye, but treat them like cats. They are practically no fuss. Enjoy🌱🌱🌱
@@shawnapointville3363 curious what direction of sun your plant faces. My apt faces south and little nervous about too much sun. I have a brand new one and was going to put it maybe 10 feet away from my double glass doors. It gets alot of sun in this room. I have cooler areas but then worry won't be enough sun
My plants are 10 feet away from a west facing window in the family room. They get little to no direct sunlight. Only flitered light in the late afternoon. When I move them in the kitchen where the light is brighter I notice that they stress. Not sure if it’s the floresent lights bulbs on the counter or the A/C blowing down on them that cause the issues. Away from direct sunlight, the over counter lights, and the AC vents they are plump and thriving. Less is better. Don’t over water. Don’t nag. Just watch and respond calmly. I wish I could upload pictures.
I would someday love to own this Hoya, it is on my wish list. Thanks for sharing Summer this was very interesting learning about this Hoya, it just seems to be so beautiful. See you tomorrow.
Questions is Hoya Linearis and Ceropegia Linearis the samethings. What's the difference? Thank you!
the place near me in ny has these in hanging baskets.. you are in nyc right? im a 90 minute drive from the GW. looks like they are doing good there too. adams fairacre farms. they have a few hudson valley localals dutches county, ulster and orange county (where i have seen them) i didnt realize they were that rare here in the us.. i snagged their last variegated portulacaria which i have been looking for for months.. variegated crassula ovata is next on my i want that list lulz
It's not been easy to care for it -- I have it facing north east as well, not very frequently watered, and it's been slowly drying out from the tip. I think it might do better hanging than sitting on top of a bookcase like mine.
He so long🤩
nice
so do you believe that "misting" really does benefit plants?
It does not. Misting only raises the ambient humidity about 1 percent and only until the water evaporates. It’s pointless to be honest. Also you run the risk of water droplets sitting on the leaves and causing fungus. Even if you don’t get a fungus it’s not worth all the trouble for none of the benefits ppl claim it does.
Wooooo earlyyyy
What nail polish are you wearing though?
wish list plant ! I just want a baby.
Mine does better in passsive hydroponic than it does in the mix it came in. I wanna say it’s coco coir. The roots are thick and heathy compare to the ones in coco coir.
